Born in 1905 as the son of a well-to-do Turin builder, Carlo Mollino studied art history and architecture and became known as a designer of furniture and interior furnishings.Mollino's obsession was with the formal language of the female body, a passion which he pursued secretly in his photographs. Between 1962 and 1973 he took some 2,000 staged nude and semi-nude Polaroid portraits of female beauties of the Turin night life.Even though Mollino had turned the staged photographs into an art genre, he always kept his women's portraits hidden away. Even today they occupy a special, enigmatic role in his work.This publication makes the attempt for the first time to shed light on this ambivalence by contrasting a selection of Mollino's Polaroid portraits with objects from Casa Mollino that were also excluded from the public eye.Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Kunsthalle Vienna project space from August – September, 2011.

Over the past two decades, scholarship in architectural history has transformed, moving away from design studio pedagogy and postmodern historicism to draw instead from trends in critical theory focusing on gender, race, the environment, and more recently global history, connecting to revisionist trends in other fields. With examples across space and time—from medieval European coin trials and eighteenth-century Haitian revolutionary buildings to Weimar German construction firms and present-day African refugee camps—Writing Architectural History considers the impact of these shifting institutional landscapes and disciplinary positionings for architectural history. Contributors reveal how new methodological approaches have developed interdisciplinary research beyond the traditional boundaries of art history departments and architecture schools, and explore the challenges and opportunities presented by conventional and unorthodox forms of evidence and narrative, the tools used to write history.
